Who knows what mysteries lie in the hearts of Ferraris? Perhaps they're thinking about running wild and free along the plains of this great nation. Or maybe just sugar cubes. If I had to bet, though, I'd say they're thinking about that scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. And they're watching, waiting. Plotting ever so patiently.Ferrari Watches official site

WOW! That much money for quartz watches. Wherein really the irony of these lies: A Ferrari owner would never buy a watch like this simply due to the fact that it has no pedigree. Those that can't afford a Ferrari might, but it is questionable why. For $300 to $600 you can get a Swiss Made Automatic from an actual watchmaker. :-/

Nothing says "nouveau riche" like the guy saying he'd buy a Ferrari if only it came in automatic!

Anyway, judging by the names, these are F1 inspired, not consumer-Ferrari inspired, meaning for race fans not Ferrari owners. The Ferrari owners have their own, exclusive, $50k watch. And yes, it's an automatic.

I guess the F1 drivers are all nouveau riche...which modern Ferrari is even still available with a manual?

I drove a 599 GTB before with the F1 6-Spd Sequential...I am not sure I'd want that car with a true manual.

All jokes aside, I get it, but man, that is quite a price to pay for F1 fanship...I like F1, but I'd almost feel the Tag Heuer F1 watches would be a better deal, though those are mostly quartz too and they ask for $1,500 MSRP on them...

When I first saw this watch, I thought WOW what cheese ball poser would actually buy this without owning a Ferrari? But, I actually do like the way these look... I guess I am an F1 fan as well! May have to pull the trigger here. hmmmm decisions.

Notice how the woot with the Porsche products disappeared off the site? I searched for it on GoogleNSA and found the page, with all items labeled "SOLD OUT".. Porsche must not have liked the comments being posted.

Notice how every sale on this site disappears after 4 days, with items appearing as sold out?

RE: Seiko
FWIW, Seiko may not be Swiss, but they do work every bit as good as the great Swiss houses, if not better. Sure, they make some cheap watches (and some of them are even excellent, especially considering the price-point [eg the 'Monsters/]), but their upper-end lines -not sold officially in the States-, Grand Seiko et al, puts all the commoditized brands to shame (Tag, Omega et al) and, at the very last, stand toe-to-toe with Rolex and many others, at a much better price to boot. And forget about fashion/department store watches - they're not even in the same league.Seiko uses only in-house movements, which can't be said for too many of the "great" Swiss manufactures. They're also pushing technology, through quartz/mechanical hybrids (Spring Drive, etc), producing some lines with accuracy measured to the YEAR, not the month. There're videos around of the Grand Seiko factory that should give you an idea of the meticulous work they do.

FWIW, I only a Seiko "Black Monster" - a dive watch that you can buy new for $200'ish, and beats almost any other sport-watch retailing <$1000. I'm also on my second Rolex, a 14060M Submariner. Now, do I like the Sub more? Yeah, I do, but not by a I like turtles!-ton...and I paid >10x as much for my (used) Sub than I did for my brand new Seiko.

Also, to all the haters of this watch who don't actually have one in hand: Let's keep it real and compare apples to apples. We know this isn't a Tag Heuer, Rolex, Breitling, etc. I surmise it is a NOVELTY watch for the Ferrari fan. No big deal. I think it's a fair bet that a Fossil, Kenneth Cole, Guess, Michael Kors, Bulova or other faux "quality" watches with quartz movement as well aren't any superior. As for "Invicta" watches, gimme a break, I'll pass. If this watch isn't any good, oh well. We'll wear it when Ferraris are making laps on race day. Hopefully the Ferrari logo doesn't fall off after the watch fogs up from a poor seal. All that aside, I scooped one up and am looking forward to putting it through its paces. Cheers gang and happy wooting! Woot (Amazon) has an interesting model of inciting possibly unsubstantiated excitement and need for consumption by the masses (hey, that's me too!) for liquidating schtuff for those wanting to unload products that have sat on the shelf too long, clever. Can you hear the revenue generation? Listen closely while we shell out our hard earned cash.

P.S. Love the quip about the price of a Porsche keychain a few posts earlier! You might be a shoe in for America's Got Talent!

Shipping usually takes 3-5 business days. I would say that if you don't see any updates to your tracking by tomorrow to email support@woot.com and let them know. They'll be more than happy to assist you.

i got my tracking num on 19th, when i gave a call to fedex since status is not updating online, they said its still not shipped out and status is still same today. woot support said it will ship out in 5 - 8 days after purchase date.

Really?

Same for me. Shipping initiated on 9/16. I emailed woot! support and they replied they are following up with their "vendor" on status of shipment. I hope this works out and we don't end up receiving a subpar or 'counterfeit' product from some unidentified "vendor." I wonder what it takes to qualify as a "vendor" for woot. I'm sure I'll be directed to the FAQ if it is a documented process :-)

I'm a bit troubled with this purchase at this point and will likely not fall for a potential bait and switch again unless proven otherwise. Too bad. I guess when 'if it seems too good to be true it probably is' _might_ apply in this case. Perhaps that sounds a bit weighty but the reality is I don't know what the true status is on this product. Heck, maybe I'm just having a tough week! I'll hold out for final judgment. Should I be wrong in any of my perceived negative statements of this particular transaction I will gladly correct them if things are sorted satisfactorily. Take care fellow Ferrari watch seekers and wooters!

Hi folks. I just got an alert from FedEx that the item has been picked up by FedEx and is on the way! Estimated delivery date is Tue. 10/1! I'll keep you posted and hope that yours are all on the way soon as well.

dbarrym

Let's keep in touch until the watch arrives and then we can discuss how we like the product once we have it.
Cheers!

Still no update on mine, ordered early AM on 9/13. Woot customer service says "The orders for this particular product experienced an issue and our staff is currently ooking into this...Your tracking data should automatically update once the carrier scans resume on it."

I appreciate the reply, but a more substantial response would be appropriate.

Hmmmm...still waiting for mine - FedEx still says "Initiated" from Hollywood, FL; Woot support says "thanks for your continued patience" - I feel like I ordered an item from that Schticky guy that takes 4-8 weeks for processing and shipping. I say that we all deserve a Bandolier of Carrots for having to wait as Woot sorts out the vendor.

Having the same issues as others--shipping "initiated" but not actually received and in process at FedEx. Woot support is slow and unhelpful. There are long delays to get emails that essentially have said write back in a couple more days rather than actually telling me when the product will ship.

They have suggested a refund, but I expect them to honor the deal.

Hi gang,

I received my watch yesterday. I like it. It met my expectations. It certainly isn't the *best* watch ever but it is a nice watch overall. I was able to remove the links as necessary to size it without a jeweler. There are screws that hold the links in place. With careful removal using a _small_ screwdriver (emphasize small, like the one you find in an eyeglass repair kit) I was able to get the job done. The biggest hurdle was ensuring the link was lined up properly when re-attaching the rod. You might consider putting an end of the unused rod in the opposing side to line it up while you screw in the primary link rod.

In any case, despite taking longer than expected to arrive I'm satisfied with my purchase overall. The watch is solid and as long as you don't expect Rolex or Tag Heuer quality, for example, I hope you feel the same way.

I didn't know that the Ferrari company makes watches too, it's awesomely cool! Still Ferrari 360 Spider is one of my favorite cars( I'm a teenager and I'm just saying I like Ferrari products and cars, so I don't drive a car).
